I rode at Golden Vista for over 7 years. I went from a beginner to Novice division in eventing--dressage, jump course and cross country and did excellent in hunter/jumper. My education as a rider was excellent and allowed me to compete--and win at a level I never thought possible. When competing against other riders at other stables I was a consistently in the ribbons. My mounts were always provided by Golden Vista and part of the stable horses owned and trained by Cheryl. I could compete against other riders with more formal trainning and experience, because I was taught the basics and then the finer points with safety always first.
If your looking for a serious instructor that can take you to competitions and win, I highly recommend Golden Vista. If you are just looking for extra fun and want a few lessons for exercise, this can be accommodated at this stable as well.
I have read the previous negative reviews, and can say from my own experience, the only time I experienced someone raising their voices was to make a needed safety point. Horses are wonderful, however please pick your stables or mounts wisely.
Pros: advanced instructor and horses, great facility, LIGHTED ARENA--one of the few in town!!
